Ingredients

Single Pie Crust Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt add an extra pinch if your butter is unsalted
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 2 to 4 tbsp cold water

Chocolate Pecan Pie Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Make The Pie Crust

  • In the bowl of a food processor whirl the flour, salt and sugar together
  • Cut the butter in chunks, drop it in the food processor and pulse on and off until it resembles fine crumbs
  • Start with the smallest amount of water and drizzle it in while the food processor is running
  • If the dough clumps up it's done, if it doesn't come together it needs more water
  • Pat the dough a bit flat, wrap it and chill at least one hour

To Make Chocolate Pecan Pie

  • Melt the butter over medium heat, then set it to the side to cool
  • Preheat the oven to 375˚
  • Flour a clean counter and roll out the pie dough
  • Sprinkle flour in the bottom of a regular pie pan and drape crust over the pie pan
  • Fit the crust to pan without stretching it and trim it leaving 1/2 inch of crust beyond the pie pan edge
  • Fold the excess 1/2 inch of pie dough under to form a nice sturdy edge on the pie crust
  • Crimp or use a fork to crimp the edge of the pie crust
  • Put the pie pan in the fridge to chill while you make the filling
  • Meanwhile whisk the sugars, flour, and salt together
  • Then mix the melted butter, eggs, milk and vanilla together, don't beat it just stir it
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until well combined, do not beat it long and hard, just stir it together
  • Stir in the pecans and chocolate
    Stirring in the chocolate chips and fresh pecans into the pie mixture.
  • Pour into the chilled pie crust
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes

Notes

  • Use chocolate chips, not baking chocolate. Chips hold together in the oven, and baking chocolate melts straight into the filling.
